Shoegazer Haul: Homeware

As promised, here are the bits and pieces of homeware I picked up on my recent trip to the antique shops of Lewes . . .


Above: I fell in love with this antique wooden side table instantly! The birds engraved in the wood are perfect! I love that it seems they were once a pale blue colour but the paint has worn away. I am so pleased with this purchase!
Above: This wasn't cheap but I couldn't leave it behind. I have big plans for my future living room and this will fit in perfectly!
Above: This vintage tin will also fit in with my planned theme - and no, the theme isn't nautical!
Above: Another vintage tin, and another item destined for my future living room! I am particularly pleased with this find as I saw it in another shop for twice the price!
Above: Photos don't do this glass bowl justice, it is such a beautiful bright blue colour in real life!

Thanks for looking :) Click here for more of my collection of vintage tins.

Shoegazer Collections: Vintage Tins

As I said in my last post, I seem to have begun a collection of little vintage tins. Most of these I found when we were clearing my Nan's old house last year, infact the only one I've bought is the His Master's Voice grammar phone needle tin which I love because music is a big part of my life. 
Vintage Tins...
Above and Below: I found the vintage tabbacco tin stuffed full of old button. The pretty, pale blue pin tin is still full of the original pins as is the Ivy Series drawing pin tin. I love that someone has put soeme tiny dice and games counters in the HMV tin, they obviously put them in there to keep them safe.


Details:
 When I move out I hope these will look perfect on a display shelf.
